Abstract
Magnetic recording channels perform several signal processing tasks in the process of storing and retrieving data. Among them are precompensation, equ alization, timing recovery, detection, and coding. A range of algorithms is available for each of these tasks with different levels of complexity and performance. We describe how each of these tasks is done today and indicate how they are likely to change as requirements and implementation technolog ies evolve. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
